Description: this business of MUSIC the definitive guide to the music industry 9th edition M. William Krasilovsky and Sidney Shemel Contributions by John M. Gross BILLBOARD BOOKS an imprint of Watson-Guptill Publications, New York Introduction I 2 5 5 8 8 9 3 6 ム oc 9 II 12 *13 In the first edition of This Business of Music, published in 1964, we stated our goal as follows: This book has been written with a view toward assisting participants in the music and recording industries to understand the workings of the business and their rights and obligations. It is meant to present the economic facts for day-to-day decisions and actions and to act as a simplified guide to common legal concepts underlying business determinations... It is hoped that the participants in the music business may use this volume to increase their understanding of its practices both here and overseas. We have sought to maintain this goal throughout the book's various updates. This current edition continues to cover copyright revisions, Berne Convention requirements, the dominance of major labels and major music publishers, and new media. This edition also updates sections on government demands for increased regulation, the ongoing search for secure copyright digital initiative, challenges in defining and protecting the public domain, artist dissatisfaction with traditional accounting practices, and the increasing strength of foreign markets. The sheet music industry has been given a new lease on life due to digital methods of distribution, and we have, accordingly, devoted an entire chapter to sheet music. We have also included a new section on the buying and selling of record companies. In the late 196os Marshal McLuhan stated: "The medium is the message." In the new millennium print, broadcast, and other performance and mechanical forms of reproduction are no longer discrete entities: as the various media have converged, the message has become dominant. At the same time, content that in the past was mainly available only in tangible, printed form can now be accessed, read, and printed out via a personal computer. Films, videotapes, recordings, and radio programs are now available via that same personal computer, and all of these media but streamed radio broadcasts can also be downloaded and stored INTRODUCTION
